We are an organization dedicated to raising awareness about the history, culture and true lives of Romani people worldwide.
We confront racism and oppression wherever we encounter it.
We try to make connections with all the "isms" that make up western culture.

First they find themselves the target of attacks by the Vatican over their doctrinal fidelity and divided loyalties–the nuns spend most of their time on social justice issues like serving the poor while the bishops prefer to lobby against health insurance and hide pedophiles.

But rather than slink away quietly as Rome told them to, they’ve decided to take their message directly to the flock. That’s right. A busload of nuns is taking a nine-state tour to highlight the social justice work they do.

The tour will coincide with the bishop’s “Fortnight of Freedom” protest and organized civil disobedience around the health care bill– a week of openly and actively fighting for the right to deny lifesaving medical care based on personal prejudice.

There really couldn’t be a starker contrast in approaches and positions then the bishops vs. the nuns.

LOLO DIKLO : RrOMANI AGAINST RACISM

Lolo Diklo : Rromani Against Racism is an organization dedicated to providing information about the true situation of the Romani (Gypsies) in the world today. We are committed to confronting racism and oppression wherever it is found.

BACKGROUND

The Romani are a people who are not very well known. We are an ethnic group of people originally from India. We left India and arrived in Europe sometime in the 1300's. There are many theories as to why we left India. This is the work of academics, and we have some. Most Romani are more concerned about daily survival to worry about documentation of our past. We know who we are.

What is known about the Romani is, for the most part, stereotypically based. We are portrayed as romantic, carefree wonderers or child stealers, pick pockets and beggers.

Today the Romani of Europe face the same discrimination they have faced for centuries.
